‘Roma’ opens Europa Cinema

Schumacher's 'Guerin' set to close film fest

ROME — Ettore Scola’s “Gente di Roma” (People of Rome) opened the 20th Europa Cinema as the first of eight world preems of European productions.

The veteran Italian helmer’s homage to the Eternal City unspooled out of competition to kick off the event dedicated to European fare, which started Sunday and runs through Sept. 27 in Viareggio on the Tuscan coast.
